How to Create and Manage a YouTube Playlist

Tap through each step to build your own playlist.

  1. Find the "Save" button below a video

    Below the video you want to add to a playlist, click the "Save" button.

  2. Create a new playlist

    Select "Create new playlist," then choose a name and a visibility setting (Public, Private, or Unlisted).

  3. Add more videos to the same playlist

    Use the same "Save" button on other videos to keep adding them to the playlist you created.

  4. Reorder the playlist

    On the playlist page, drag videos into whatever order you want them to play.

  5. Share the playlist

    A playlist set to Public or Unlisted can be shared by copying its link to send to others.

A simple way to organize what you watch

Grouping videos into playlists β€” a study series, a workout routine, background music for focus β€” turns a scattered watch history into something you can pick up and continue anytime.

Know the difference before you choose a visibility setting

Public playlists can appear in search and on your channel, Unlisted ones are viewable only by anyone with the direct link, and Private playlists are visible only to you β€” pick based on how widely you actually want it seen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can other people add videos to my playlist together with me?

Standard YouTube playlists have a single owner β€” only you can add, remove, or reorder videos, though anyone with the link to a Public or Unlisted playlist can view it.

What is the real difference between Unlisted and Private?

An Unlisted playlist can be viewed by anyone who has the direct link, while a Private playlist is visible only to you unless you specifically share access with other accounts.
